Who cares if you get shot with a gun, hacked with a machete or ran over by a muslim with a truck? You are still just as dead. Take a look at the intentional homicide rate for all sources, with the percent of gun ownership in parentheses:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

Top 12 Murder Rate

1. Houndouras (6.2%)
2. El Salvador (5.8%)
3. Venezeula (10.7%)
4. Virgin Islands (?)
5. Lesoto (2.7%)
6. Jamaica (8.1%)
7. Belize (10%)
8. St. Kitts & Nevis (?)
9. South Africa (12.7%)
10. Guatemala (13.1%)
11. Bahamas (5.3%)
12. Columbia (5.9%)

Bottom 12 Murder Rate

206. Norway (31.3%)
207. Indonesia (.5%)
208. Bahrain (24.8%)
209. Austria (30.4%)
210. Switzerland (45.7%)
211. Kuwait (24.8%)
212. French Polynesia (31.2%)
213. Japan (.6%)
214. Singapore (.5%)
215. Iceland (30.3%)
216. Andorra (?)
217. San Marino (?)
218. Monaco (?)

Numbers after are the gun ownership rates from (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country)

Now, you can look at some demographic differences between the top 12 and bottom 12 and that will explain the crime rate because the gun ownership rate sure doesn't explain it. These same demographic forces also affect America. Liberals can't explain why high gun ownership in Iceland, Switzerland or Norway didn't lead to the mass killing fields like Democrat run Chicago, New Orleans or Baltimore with their failed gun control and out of control murder rates. Guns don't kill people, rapists and murderers do. Build that wall.
